Wednesday, 29 June 2016 by the Southern Cross team

Southern Cross Health Society teamed with the Human Resource Institute of New Zealand (HRINZ) to establish industry benchmarks around key metrics, such as employer funded health insurance, and to understand the role they play in driving business performance. The below are key findings from this study undertaken in June 2016 among HR professionals and HRINZ members.

Strategic priorities

Employee engagement

Employer funded health insurance

Attraction and retention

Over 1/4 believe offering employer funded health insurance is an effective way of attracting and retaining staff

Of those surveyed, over half of the companies who offer employer funded health believe it's an effective acquisition tool

Flexibility in different forms (whether work arrangements, leave or pay) are all seen as key acquisition drivers
